Die-versionsis releasing new set of wonderful dies today! And I am going to share a project I created using one of the dies. You can see the whole collection ofMarch releases here.

I wanted to create something simple yet delivers a clear message. Miss Your Face Die from Die-Versions is perfect for such a card. To eliminate any hazard situations and to follow OWH’s guidelines, I decided to keep the card one layer and add couple dimensions on the focal point area. I used a diagonal stripe stamp to create a soft background and added different colors each time. Don’t you think these colors just melt your heart?

The pictures don’t do the justice, but after I cut out the cardstock with the Miss Your Face Die, I embossed it twice with a clear embossing powder to give a fun wet look. I thought it would be cool to pop out the main point with some different texture. As a finishing touch, I added couple of enamel dots to match the rest of the color scheme which help out the die cut piece to stand out even more.

Take a note of the die cut piece one more time – you will see this cool stitched lines around the whole die cut piece. This adds a really nice detail to any project. A lot of dies from the March release have those cool stitched lines, so make sure to check them out.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me today, and I hope you enjoyed my card! Make sure to head over to the last stop of the hop over at Die-Versions Blog. Have a great weekend guys!!

Your card is simply beautiful! I love the softness of the stripes with the die and the enamel dots are the perfect touch! I’ll be CASE’ing this for sure! Thank you so much for supporting Operation Write Home!

This is such nice card. I love the die more every treatment of it I’ve come across in this hop. This is one of my favorites. So simple, but so well designed and I love the detail with the dots and the stitching you point out. Lovely card.

I love, love the soft look of your card and the simplicity of making it using the lined stamp for the background. That sure helps eliminate any bulkiness! It is just beautiful. Thank you for participating.

I really love your CAS card with the striped background you created that gives it just enough texture without taking away from the sentiment die cut focal point. Those enamel dots are just the perfect finishing touch on this wonderful card. Thank you for sharing this & for your support of OWH.
